Amazing. Explosive nose right out of the gate! Layers of fruit and long finish! 13.7% ABV. Silt tannins. Many wines out there at this price that will disappoint - this one will not.
Day 2: Just as good as day 1. Nose still incredible and body held up very well. Not a lot lost. Finished the bottle.

Klassiske bordeauxdufter, me en anelse mer varm, rik frukt, solbær, kanskje hint av plomme. Utrolig tilgjengelig nå. Frukt dominerer på duft også, tanninene var litt røffe først men etter dobbeltdekantering og noen timer luft er de silkemyke. Super, men kan selvsagt også lagres lenge. Flott match til pepperbiff, mer enn nok primærfrukt til å takle pepperet.

Solid and about where one would expect a young MB to be really good in several years and beyond.

Drinking nicely right now, but needs time. The fruit core is still super black fruited, ultra dense.
